I'm the only one still listening mp3s? I have a sandisk mp3 player (size similar to the classic ipod shuffle) and I use yandex to get the mp3s. And I transferred all my old CDs to mp3 format as well.

I don't use my smartphone to listen to music because it's too big/heavy (running with it is so uncomfortable).



You're not alone. I have a cheapo mp3 player from a Chinese no-name brand -- I'm pretty sure I've seen the exact same thing sold under multiple brands, for some reason -- and it's tiny, light, and good at playing music. Way better experience than having a smartphone clunking around in my pocket.


As I type this I'm listening to mp3's playing from my iPod classic, line out from the dock, into desktop speakers in my home office. Love it.

I started buying CDs in 1985 (and vinyl before that). I guarantee you I have music that isn't on any streaming service so they're mostly of no use to me.


Children in schools where their phones have been banned had to learn about the history of music distribution, eg what mp3s are


all of my cds nicely ripped to mp3 and on a usb drive right into my car. use them every day. luckily the infotainment system handles them.
